The Dreaming, Planning and Waiting Are Over!

I have a similar story to yours.....I remember even as a teen my boobs were never perky. I am now at a place in my life where I can afford it, and I also have an incredibly supportive husband. Long story short, my surgery is tomorrow at 0830, with a hospital report time of 0630. Surprisingly, I am very relaxed, which was certainly not the case even last week. I wish you the best of luck on your journey!

Hi, thanks for sharing your story! I am so similar to you, 27 and from Birmingham as well! Can I ask you which surgeon you're going with and how much it's costing? I've got a consultation with Mr Titley at Little Aston next Friday and I can't wait! Same as you, I've hated by boobs ever since I was a teenager and I figure that I might as well do something about them! Are you just having an uplift, or an uplift with implants? Good luck!

Hi there - I am exactly the same as you, disliked my breasts for aslong as I can remember, its mainly been an embarassing problem when it came to the 'opposite sex' and new relationships. I've just left a long and unhealthy relationship back in April so I thought there's no better time than now to develop the 'new me'. I have a 3 year old son, and I did breastfeed him but only for a few weeks. I had my surgery last Tuesday 27th November at King Edward VII's hospital in London. The whole procedure cost £6580, I had just the mastopexy. However a few days ago I noticed that there is a small infection, so it is vital to take antibiotics upon leaving hospital (I did and still got infection!), so I am now on stronger anti b's to clear it up quickly. Having said that, I am very pleased with the overall shape and position of my new breasts! And can't wait to be fully healed so I can start enjoying them! Recovery is a lot harder than I thought because you really must do 'nothing'. My surgeon has given me a bit of a telling off just for walking round the supermarket with my Mum. So you must take all the help you have on offer, and let your Mummy look after you. I too will be paying my Mum back until forever! I hope all goes well on the 19th!! My stitches are out on the 17th so I should finally be able to wash normally, and to start driving again. Please take it really easy! Oh and my surgeon reckons that I will still be able to breastfeed a little but you will need the assistance of 'formula milk' too, but giving your future baby the 'colustrum' which is the first bit of milk containing the most nutrients is best for a baby so even a little breastfeeding at the beginning will be so beneficial for the little one and you will bond with your baby no matter what. But less of that you've got some new boobies too enjoy first! :)

Hi MissIndigo. Welcome to the site. I'm having an ultimate breast lift the 27th, so right behind you. It'd be nice to have someone to share in the experience with. Who are you going to? As far as breast feeding I've known plenty of woman who still breast fed after some sort of breast sx. Discuss it with your PS & see what (s)he feels. Good luck with sx.

Hi! I totally understand your need to have your breasts fixed. I had a reduction after my first child at the age of 23. I have gone on to have two more children and that is my only regret about having the reduction so early. I was able to give them a little best milk, but not a lot, and if only for that i wish i had waited. It's a tough decision, I totally get it.

Hi miss indigo. I'm a fellow brummie! Had a breast reduction 4 weeks ago nw. I presume the procedures are similar, and if so, let me tell you I can not believe the recovery. I was out of action for around 3 days, 2 of those I was in hospital anyway. Washing your hair s. struggle as you can't ave showers, so treat your self and go to the hair dressers! Although I washed mine over the bath. I have to children 5 and just 2. So I suppose I had to just get on with things, which I think helped my recovery. I'm doing everything I did before, except boogie bouncy, my normal exercise group as that's a little sore to do!!! You will be surprised at just how quickly you do recover. I took vitamins to help recovery too. Zip up tops and vests that you can pull up over your body rather than over your head. I had mine on NHs. Good luck, and don't worry, the hardest part is the build up to the op!!

That looks pretty good. I started working on my list today too, though i can't finish it until after my pre-op appt. Yoga pants and button down shirts maybe?

I agree this site is so addicting! My surgery is on the 20th and I couldn't be more excited. Thank you for sharing your journey so far with us :)
